A post mortem examination on a young fox which had been observed to be clinically ill revealed a severe infection with Angiostrongylus vasorum. A further 11 foxes were examined and four were infected with the parasite; three of these also had advanced lesions of sarcoptic mange. The cases all occurred outside the previously defined focus of endemic infection for dogs in Cornwall and they appear to be the first recorded cases of A vasorum in foxes in the United Kingdom.
对一只观察到有临床疾病的幼狐进行的尸检显示，其感染了严重的血管圆线虫。又对另外11只狐狸进行了检查，其中4只感染了这种寄生虫；其中3只还患有晚期疥螨病病变。这些病例均发生在康沃尔郡先前确定的犬类地方感染疫源地之外，它们似乎是英国有记录的狐狸感染血管圆线虫的首例病例。
